THE major change in the School of Engineering in recent years has been the very large increase in enrollment in the several departments, from a total of 447 in 1933-34 to 856 in 1937-38. Schools of engineering in the United States have been recently subjected to an exhaustive survey of their personnel, courses and equipment by the Engineers’ Council for Professional Development. The Oregon State engineering school has been accredited by this national organization, so that our graduates have equal standing with those of all engineering colleges of high rank in the country. The engineering school conducts tests of methods and materials for the hydro-electric development at Bonneville, and has cooperated with the State Highway Commission on road materials, studies of stream pollution and of radio interference. Dean Dearborn R. H. Dearborn became Dean of the School of Engineering in 1934. Prior to that time he rendered continuous service as department head in electrical engineering, first at the University of Oregon, where he founded the department in 1901, and later at Oregon State college after all engineering work was centered on this campus in 1914 by the board of higher curricula.

ITH recent developments along forest lines in the United States, the School of Forestry has rapidly W become one of the largest schools in the college. Graduates of the school find positions in the Federal Forest Service, the U. S. Indian Service, State, County and City forestry orsanizations, as well as in research positions and in work for private concerns. Under the able and competent guidance of Earl Mills, president of the Forest club, this organization has become a strong and active group on the campus. Members of the club are easily distinguished by the red ties they wear on each Wednesday, known as Fernhopper's Day. Foresters publish the Hi-Lead, ” a weekly newspaper, and the Annual Cruise, the yearbook of the school. The club sponsors a Fernhoppers' Ball'' and a Fernhoppers' Banquet' each year. In the spring term, members gather at the Peavy Arboretum to work for one day on improvements. Fernhoppers in Action1' is the weekly radio program broadcast over KOAC. SINCE George W. Peavy became president of Oregon State college in 1934, Earl G. Mason has been Acting Dean of the School of Forestry. Receiving his bachelor's degree in forestry at Oregon State in 1920, Dean Mason did graduate study at Yale University, where he received his master’s degree. Since 1920 he has been a member of the Oregon State faculty. In addition to his many achievements, Dean Mason has had extensive experience in western forest work. This combination of practical and theoretical experience has made him an outstanding authority on forestry problems. SCHOOL OF 25 FORESTRY

Dean Salser JAMES R. Jewell has served as Dean of Education at Oregon State since 1927, when he came to Oregon from the University of Arkansas. When the new higher education system was set up, he was made Dean at both the University and the State college with residence at Eugene. Carl W. Salser is Assistant Dean on the Oregon State campus. THE School of Education, centered in Shepard Hall, grants professional degrees of E.M. and Ed.D. in addition to M.A., M.S., B.A. and B.S. degrees. Students in the graduating class of 41 who expect to teach are required to have a fifth year or 45 additional credits more than is now necessary for teaching. Credit increase will be advanced one term each year starting with the class of ’39. This change was effected by a law recently enacted by the State legislature. This year's graduating class was so large that Albany and Philomath schools were used in addition to Corvallis high schools for practice teaching, enabling students to carry out classroom theories.
